I have worked as a psychiatrist in prisons and other criminal justice settings for 25 years, and written over 1200 reports to the Courts, mainly in criminal proceedings.

My clinical and research interests relate to mental health conditions as they present in the criminal justice system, including prisons, courts, police custody, probation, and other places of detention, with a focus on vulnerability and marginalisation.

I trained in psychiatry at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital, London, and have worked as a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist for 20 years. During that time, I have worked in London, Melbourne, Cornwall, Liverpool, Manchester and Cardiff.

Clinically, my main interest has been in prison psychiatry, from which I developed an interest in other parts of the criminal justice system (police custody, the criminal courts and probation), and people who are detained in other settings (e.g., immigration removal centres).

I collaborate widely and have a broad interest in mental health conditions as they arise in the criminal justice system in Wales, the wider UK, and internationally, with a focus on vulnerability and marginalisation. My interests are under-pinned by a focus on fair and equal treatment for people in the criminal justice system, taking into consideration human rights obligations and issues in respect of social justice.
